San Jose Juniper, styled as an informal upright for 25 years. Challenging foliage, which is often juvenile, coarse and unattractive. Have to leave it alone, get light into tree and foliage may become mature. Finally got mature foliage, however foliage overwhelmed scale of tree. Restyling objective is to lighten tree and highlight trunk movement.
